Chandler - 2 years old.

If he's putting on his coveralls to go outside - so are you. If he's on a phone talking - so are you. If he's looking at a bull catalog - you want to look at it too.

You much prefer your dad if you have to choose between him & me, but you like your mama too. :)

We had your 2 year appointment with Dr. Earl a week after your birthday & you're growing well! You weigh 34.5 lbs, are 36 inches tall and wear size 3T clothing. You've shown a little interest in potty training, but we're not pushing it and you still wear a size 5 diaper.

﻿

You've learned to greet & say good bye to people (Bye! See you! or Bye! Thank you!), give great hugs and we almost have "I love you" down.

Speaking of love - you LOVE your brother. If he's nearby, you're holding his hand, playing with him or talking to him. I love how much you each love one another.

﻿

You love anything that has to do with tractors, and also like to ride Twist. You like being around cows if we're working them or breeding, but you get a little scared if one comes to close to you (which is probably healthy). You can find an AI gun tucked away in a gun warmer or pickup seat faster than I can find a Diet Pepsi in the fridge, and know just what to do with them.

We're biased - but you are so smart, and really take in how things work and what to do with them. You can work an automatic syringe gun, load guns into a warmer, load and "farm" with your tractors, figure out how bottles & sippy cups work, and are just so inquisitive.

You're becoming a little bit particular about food - I think partly because you're a toddler and also because now you can express your choices. You always choose a cheeseburger over nuggets, Cheetos over any kind of chip, and cheddar cheese over string. You love Gogurt, black olives, Capri Suns and any kind of candy....but not a fruit snack. Mac & cheese and hot dogs are hit or miss, but you love ravioli and pot stickers.

Sweet boy - I don't know how we got to two, but here we are.

You and your brother are the light in our lives - we love you so much and love that we get to call you ours!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a ride!". - Anonymous
